On the CD cover Marshall is indeed carrying a Mandocello. But in the video clip he plays mandolin.
The video clip is unrelated to the album, which does not involve any orchestral accompaniment.
For those interested, more information about the recording including all of that tracks and user comments about the project: http://www.mandolincafe.com/news/publish/mandolins_001722.shtml
Avi Avital has been brilliantly playing and recording Bach on mandolin for ages. He plays in such as way you conclude that must be how Bach wrote it!
Fascinating! I tremendously enjoyed that clip and I thank you for informing me of such an unusual and beautiful duet. I am going to purchase the album. No doubt you recall, Norman, how fond Mahler was of the mandolin and that he featured the instrument in Mahler-VII.
